Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 28

This weeks challenge: Book Week
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

Book week has been moved to October this year, but a few weeks ago we had simultaneous story time, you can read about it here. Mr 4’s daycare had a dress up day that was themed “Dress up like a Diva”.

We went to the fabric shop especially for him to choose the fabrics he wanted for this costume and he was so excited when we found the sparkly stars and even more excited when he found the gold lamé for the crown.

Mr 4 has so many pairs of Sprouts pants like these because they are my go to for dress up days, they are super quick and easy to make and can be sewn completely on the overlocker.

For the crown I used the Bunny Bucket Crown with optional elastic, which means it also fits Mr 10 too much to my little guys upset.

Happy Sewing

One Yard Tote Timelapse Video

We have been working hard behind the scenes to update the One Yard Tote Pattern, it’s not ready yet but we will let you know when it is.

So that means I have been making heaps of them and thought it would be fun to make a timelapse video to show you start to finish how they are made.

I can’t wait to share the new updated pattern with you! Join our facebook group to get a notification when it’s ready!

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 22

This weeks challenge: Sew your fear
Accepted/Rejected: Rejected

I don’t really have any fears when it comes to sewing, I’m pretty happy to give anything a go at least once. The worst that can happen is it doesn’t work and I’ve wasted some time and fabric.

So this week I decided to sew a trolley liner, I found the sloth fabric at Spotlight and as soon as I saw it, it told me it wanted to become a trolley liner. Does fabric talk to you to?

Both of my boys are too big to need a trolley liner now although Parker was more than happy to jump in the trolley so I could take a few “in action”shots. I used a 10mm foam instead of wadding for this one, mostly because I didn’t have any wadding and the foam was left over from another project.

The cover is great to stop little hands touching the trolley as well as giving them a comfy spot to sit, with pockets and toy straps to stop them throwing their toy on the ground too.

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 21

This weeks challenge: Winter is Coming
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

So this week I made more Sprouts! Surprise. They really are the best for winter pants for Mr 4 to wear to daycare to keep warm and still be able to run around and play easily.

The Sprouts pattern is one of my favourites because it’s super versatile and has options for boys and girls. These are the Twigs option, I love the cuff because it means they can e a little too long but still stay up and that way the kids get a bit of extra wear out of them before they are too short.

I love both of these fabrics as they are dark so hopefully when they get dirty it won’t be as noticeable. I got both these fabrics from Obsessed by Fabric in late 2018, but she has now closed.

Parker was so excited when I gave him both of these this week and can’t wait to show his friends at Kindy.

Happy Sewing
